Preview:
Rarely is there a clear favorite in a race of chance such as Derby Orange Grové and this Sunday should be no different.
Can Triangle Velo/Endurance dodge their `08 woes to deliver a fit Keith Gerarden the cobble-kiss for which he pines? Or will outsider Robert McConville repeat? Is it possible Chris Blake avoids late-lap punctures and shuffles the classification? Has last year's green jersey winner Lucas Joppa been training enough to launch a 9th lap escape? Will Derek Powers finally try his luck on mixed-media before he retires for good? What parity awaits? Time will tell on Sunday in the Southern part of Hell.
Double-secret reconnaissance in the Forest of Buckhorn (aka The Buckhornberg) suggests it will be business as usual on the 1,453 feet of #2 chunk-graveled Bianchi Strada; certain to illicit Pneumatic-Dramatics in the wheel zone.
